The Bluffton High baseball team will be without coach Bryant Kitty for a few extra days.

Bluffton’s Friday game against Colleton County was postponed when the umpires failed to show up. Athletic director Dave Adams said the umpires mistakenly booked the game for April 22 instead of March 22.

The game was scheduled to be the second of Kitty’s three-game suspension after he and Battery Creek assistant Dan McCaw were disciplined following “a verbal disagreement that was not involved with a game” on March 11, according to Beaufort County Schools spokesman Jim Foster.

Kitty was set to return to the Bobcats following today’s SCHSL Region 8-AAAA game at Summerville. Now, Kitty will have to complete his suspension by sitting out Wednesday’s game at Fort Dorchester.

Kitty and McCaw are not permitted to coach games or practices during the suspensions, which do not affect their teaching duties.

Adams said the SCHSL told him Monday morning Bluffton and Colleton County coaches could “get together and decide on a date” to make up Friday’s game.
